A fiduciary duty arises when an individual in a position of trust must act in the best interests of the company and its stakeholders.
When that trust is broken, remedies can include damages, restitution, disgorgement, or equitable relief, depending on the facts.
Breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a person who owes duties to another party acts contrary to those duties for personal gain or the benefit of others at the principal’s expense.
Elements include a fiduciary relationship, a breach, damages or losses, and a causal link. The process typically involves investigation, gathering evidence, evaluating remedies, and pursuing the chosen path.
